Our goal is to design a machine that can provide beam debunching,
beam accumulation for radiation effect experiments and generate X
-
ray photons for future applications for both CRANE NSWC and IU
Science Communities.
CIS: Circumference =17.364 m, Inj KE= 7 MeV, extraction: 240 MeV
Dipole length = 2 m, 90 degree bend, edge angle = 12 deg.
ALPHA:
No constraint on circumference (C=20m). Use CIS dipoles &
cavity; Need Damping wigglers, chicane, electrostatic kickers & septum
Using a single quadrupole
as in the DBA
Not a good idea!
1.
Quadrupole does not work
2.
How about Robinson wiggler?

Emittances are dominated by pressure in low energy,

Touschek lifetime
Toucheck lifetime is sensitive
to the parameter:
is the rf bucket height,
is the horizontal momentum
spread
can range from 0.001 to 1.
we will need a lifetime of 1h
or more.
It can also be varied by
changing the momentum
compaction factor
In summary, the ALPHA
-
project includes:
I: Put back CIS with 2 electrostatic kickers and one
Lambertson
magnet, install
a surplus linac to demonstrate the single
-
turn injection and extraction scheme.
II: Refurbish and Install
CIS cavity
. Construct and install
damping wigglers
to
verify the momentum compaction factor tuning and 10 or more turn
accumulation! Commissioning the storage ring.
III: Build an injector LINAC for beam injection into the storage ring. In the
future, one can Move CRANE Linac to IUCF for high intensity beam
commissioning.
For eCIS design, the technology is well understood! The goal for the CRANE
radiation effect experiments can easily be met!
For the Compact Photon Source, the technology of 100 MW laser is available!
